Bevan Ashford has picked up two partners in London and Bristol to boost the firm’s commercial property capacity. Lance Conway and Mark Calverley will join the firm at the end of the month, bringing the number of partners to 82.

Conway, who will be the first property partner to be based in the firm’s London office, has joined from Steptoe & Johnson Rakisons where he was a partner. Before that he was a partner at Edward Lewis, which dissolved early last year. He specialises in property development.
